Druid Sarathai El'Rihwin, Wildwalker Kindred He slew Lord Kemnast, mightiest of the Death Knights. He restored the staff of the jaguar spirit in Shala-Khulia. He slew the vampiress, Belladona. He renewed the Chieftess of Aran'riod. He succeeded in bringing song back to Bopalopia.
Dragon hit-squad to get a relic. I got the kill, so huzzah, new honours line (only one burst, with @Shirszae bursting as well the first time).

@Sarathai When Talysin said "run west if you need to", I interpreted that as "load up your queue and go totally Rambo mode"
Figured on the second go that if I
needed to duck out of the room for a couple of seconds, it'd all be good
and nobody would die while I sipped/ate moss. I leave the room, you're alive and
well. I came back about 5-10 seconds later, or whatever it was, and you were dead.

With a little under two days left in the election, I thought I'd go ahead and post my acceptance speech. I don't mean to "jump the shark" but I was clearly the best candidate for the position.
I believe I'm supposed to thank people. Well, first off, I thank myself. I did a spectacular job of campaigning, I highlighted many important issues that effect village culture, and I made sincere promises I intend to follow up on. So thanks, Aktillum. You've made us all proud. I think that about sums it up on the "thank yous".
As your new Hierophant, I fully intend to get around to the things I promised, sooner or later. My new office is undergoing renovations, with new plush rug and a throne being installed, and I'll also be heading off to Zanzibaar for a relaxing vacation for a couple weeks, but when I return, things will get done. As I get to them. All in due time, of course.
Finally, I'd like to impart some sound advice upon you all. A respected philosopher once said, "people who live in glass houses should not teach men to fish". This mantra has aided me through many tough times in my life, and I thought I'd share its wisdom with all of you.
Thank you, Eleusis
Hierophant Aktillum, Maniacal Despot of the CIJ and Eleusis Council
Penned by my hand on the 7th of Chronos, in the year 681 AF.
Got bored waiting for stuff tonight, so I decided to join in on some shrine defiling and skirmishing. Admittedly, I don't lead offence groups much anymore because there have been other, better people to do it, though I did enjoy leading an initially small bunch of middle-experienced Mhaldorians (4-5 others including me?) around today to hunt, defile and fight the people who turn up. It turned into a larger group against a large group anyway, as it usually does, but I'd like to think the enjoyment was shared on both sides until I had to call it a day.
"Mummy, I'm hungry, but there's no one to eat! :C"
We kept winning! Then we lost. Then we won again! Then we got crushed. Back in forth. Erected and reerected shrines. Erections all day. Ran out of willpower. Died. Got it back. Both groups kept getting bigger as more people logged in.
(Targossas): Morthif says, "Hail the Shield of Creation!"
(Deucalion): Deucalion says, "Halos ... why do I have zero essence?" (Deucalion): Daeir says, "Mhaldor." (Targossas): Noak says, "Greetings, Lord Deucalion!" (Deucalion): Deucalion says, "You've all burned through three hundred million essence in six months."
(Deucalion): Halos says, "It..it was put towards righteous cause?."
(Targossas): Aelios says, "Hail Lord Deucalion!" (Deucalion)" Deucalion says, "I would zap you right now if it was in My power."
All in all, pretty great morning.
A frenzied cleric screams, "Like more than one halo!"
@Halos, you did perfectly fine. And when you needed a nudge in the right direction, one of us would start barking on Party. That was incredibly fun. I had originally logged in just to check messages and news(of which there was none), while windows azure downloaded a bunch of visual studio updates and so on so I could finish working on a project. 33 updates took like an hour, so I was able to stick around for most it.
Okay, I actually stuck around for 30 minutes more than the download and install work, because it was damn fun.
Got Insulted IC by @Daslin Due;ed him.. Lost hard. Granted I forgot to parry and had to fight to get my variables for venom and battle focus set as well as actually target him after I told him start. However I think I still would have lost.
For awhile I was unsure how IC his insults were until he sent me an ooc message complimenting me about how long I lasted. I was not gonna issue I tend to just mark people on a do not rp with list if I feel they are reacting oocly to things. Still not a fan of his characters personality but I am willing to rp with him in situations we cross paths.
He seems like a fairly chill guy OOCly. Just a jerk IC XD
edit: None of this is sarcastic. @Daslin actually does seem like a good guy on the OOC level
@Halos you rocked it man. I had so much fun. Still on cloud 9 that I sent poor Mhaldor flying into our guards with my soon to be respected by block concussive phials.

I was so sure you guys were going to bank on beckon that I placed you second target instead of first. That teaches me to place Halos on a higher priority list!

Went on my first shrine defile/ sanctify and of course I botched it up with style.

How embarrassing. It took me 7 defiles to realise I WAS AT SARTAN'S SHRINE. Well, there was some combat spam in the midst of this which my eyes have trouble dealing with. But still, that was pretty idiotic of me! #icantbelieveijustdidthat And when Ruth scolded Zarla with that final line, I got the goosebumps! Not such a great reunion with her old mentor... Sent her a letter in game asking for repentance. Now awaiting divine punishment. Sorry to my fellow Mhaldorians for being such a noobie pain!
Joined my first Rampage since I started up again. I feel I am doing well . Only 2 others joined it. @Jaybles and @Kisharo During the bloodbath I fought Jaybles and managed to beat her right before it ended.
I started to fight @Kisharo for the Finale. I think I had him on the ropes.. but I had RL stuff sneak up and had to heartstop out.
I need to get better at chasing and knowing where my opponent ran.
Sorry for double post.. but I forgot about the Mhaldoeian standing (dance) Party that @Jaybles, @Crixos, @Kisharo, and I had in Cyrene. We waited an hour for the 16+ Cyrenians to notice us. @Darkender crashed the party though
Had an emergency drinking session with the Shield and others. Thank you @Talion and @Kandra Was wonderful.
(Blades of Valour): He just has that Synbios Swagger enough said. (Blades of Valour): Draekar says: "Synbios if sunbeams sparkle off that I'll kill you where you stand."
(Party) Halos says, "Disbar?" (Party) Draekar says, "You know here we have disbar." (Party) Draekar says, "And over there we have datbar."
Punishment verdict arrived from Ruth, after my horrible mess up at the shrines yesterday. My char was executed, and then sent on a mission to Meropis to redeem herself to the Lord.
I spent a good few hours trying to figure out this ritual she had to complete, and even tried bladesuiciding and writing up a short ritual myself (ha!). And although I did get frustrated at one point because nothing was working, it was extremely satisfying in the end when things finally clicked in place! It sure helped me learn alot about interactive commands and what they can do.
I'm so glad I decided to pursue this punishment route; it was definitely worth it and a good opportunity for char development. It also made me work out how to reach Meropis by myself, which I'd been intending to do for a long time now.
Thanks so much @Ruth - you always give Zarla some of the hardest tasks, but it's because of you that she's developed some steel (and I learn cool things about the game!)
Died about 6 times today (no joke), but I have this warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction in my belly. Mmm.

@Noak, @Morthif, @Kard, @Greys, @Azelhu, @Vithincus, @Drual, @Kellonius, @Alodia, @Daeirand the rest of @Targossas, I was p terrible and you all were so crazy cool to follow me around for two hours. So weirdly trusting
